Details of little projects that I take on, usually of some technical nature and the trials and tribulations of trying to accomplish something doable. In addition, some of the inbetweens of life that come up and have to be done, need to be done or want to done while doing something else. In other words, I try to do a lot, but end up being, "Jim Do Little".

Tall Ships Preview: Round Two

Okay, so I'm full of crap! Yesterdays post was erroneous at best and just possibly an outright lie! Neither of the 2 ships I spotted yesterday were the U.S. Brig Niagara (reconstructed, home port: Erie Pa.) because it came in a few hours later. The first 2 names and origins remain unknown. So I was wrong. But, so was the Plain Dealer! On the front page article from the June 15 edition it clearly stated and I quote: "this Wednesday, you won't be able to board the Niagara, who's home port is Erie Pa. - you will have to wait until the festival to do that". Well, you don't get pictures like the one to the left without being on board the ship, so there! The festival they refer to is the "Cleveland Tall Ships Festival" which runs from July 8 through July 11th, a Sunday at the port of Cleveland. Tickets are $12 in advance and $14 day of. More info at playhousesquare.org and 216-241-6000 or 866-546-1353. More pictures are here! And you can win tickets to this event here! And the Niagara's page is here!

About Me

My main interests are photography, computers, solvable problems and alternate entertainment(books, live shows etc.). Also, eating at non - chain restaurants and promoting them and seeing more of Cleveland and other cities on foot.
Our first computer was a Tandy TL/3 from Radio Shack which did not have Windows 3.1 but DOS. All I wanted was to install Scrabble. The guy who helped me kept calling it "Stabble". I bought a book on DOS after many trips back to the store and no success. Just another one of my "little projects". And yes, in case you were wondering, I did successfully install "Stabble"!
